Comment:My blood pressure has been higher than it ever was on previous BP med. I've experienced excessive weight gain in a short period of time. Feet, ankles, legs are terribly swollen and I've had an itchy rash on my feet. I feel weak and tired with no energy for normal daily activities and have had a few bouts of dizziness. I've had joint and muscle pain that isn't normal for me.

Comment: yes, this medication has lowered my BP and I have has no further episodes of racing heart. However, the swelling of my feet is severe, causing discomfort. Really find this side effect life changing and worrisome.
